The arrangements for the 15th season of the IPL are in progress, with the goal of making it yet another successful event. The event, therefore, is anticipated to be more competitive and dramatic with the inclusion of 2 additional franchises, resulting in a wonderful blockbuster auction in February as well. According to the most recent IPL sources, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly provided an update. Every one is waiting for IPL 2022 Venue, IPL 2022 Will Be Held In India, Until Covid Hits The Roof: Ganguly.
Ganguly has stated that the IPL 2022 would be held exclusively in India unless the COVID-19 situation worsens. Furthermore, the league phase games are scheduled to be held in Maharashtra (Mumbai and Pune). As well as the playoff venues have yet to be confirmed.
IPL 2022 Venue :
We will take a call on the venues for the knockout stages later: Sourav Ganguly
“It will be held in India this year, until and unless COVID-19 hits the roof. As far as venues are concerned, we are looking at hosting the matches in Maharashtra – Mumbai, and Pune. We will take a call on the venues for the knockout stages later,” said Sourav Ganguly.
The huge auction for the IPL 2022 is planned to take place on February 12-13 in Bangalore, and it needs to be seen whether teams will exhibit their finest approaches. The pool of players who have enrolled for the auction is now available, with over 590 cricketers slated to go under the hammer.
Teams will be hunting for their captains in this giant auction, and franchises like PBKS will be entering with a big payout. On the other side, it is yet to be seen if the event can be effectively staged in India, since the 2021 season was forced to be cancelled owing to the increase of COVID cases in the camps.
Due to the same considerations, it was eventually hosted in the UAE, and the full 2020 season was contested in the UAE. In addition, many Indian players and staff personnel have came back positive for COVID-19 before India’s white-ball series versus the West Indies, worsening the situation.
